PHILOSOPHYAléz believes everyone has a story to tell, and everyone has the right to have that story told well. This is where she comes in. Aléz’s first step is always to deeply understand your long- and short-term needs, then to make sure she meets them in record-time.
SERVICES-
Aléz has orchestrated events for up to 150 people in countries like Singapore, Brazil, Kenya, Switzerland, England, and of course, her home of South Africa. From initial vendor relations to straightening napkins on the big day, she has her eye on it all.
-
Aléz’s first love was the written word, and she makes it known. Her linguistics background gives her a surgical approach to editing, but a knack for a good story keeps the oomph in everything she writes.
-
A bonafide people-person, Aléz enjoys being of help, making people feel included, and giving them the tools to celebrate themselves within an existing community. While data is vital (and fun), she knows the key to community is at the interpersonal level.
